Faith in Professors is a Must


So as many of you know, bright and early thursday morning I set off
on a trip to southern Italy with my classmates.
Destination: Napoli, Sorrento, and Ercolano.

This trip was interesting to say the least.
We more or less had no organization from our professors.
They made travel plans on the fly, which is fine in a small group,
but in a group of 60, this is not recommended.
The most important reference i can make is
shoving 30+ bodies on 2 different public buses in Napoli.
This was made even more interesting when some classmates
forgot to validate their tickets, resulting in a fine, OOPS!
Luckily one of our professors came to the rescue and was able
to weasel the "ticket nazi" down to only one ticket, instead on 20+.

Even with all the unorganized chaos and frustration,
we still got where we needed to be and were all alive and kicking.
In reality, we were in Southern Italy,
one of the greatest places in the world!
This realization forced me to be able to just sit back and laugh
and to have faith in the professors.
So the moral of this brief overview is don't stress out
and trust your professors will get you where you need....Eventually!

Oh, I forgot to mention that the day prior
our class took a trip to Ostia Antica and Mike and I were left behind.
We got there eventually though, fashionably late.
